Lathwork

Lathwork refers to the timber laths that where traditionally used as a backing for lime plaster on a timber frame typically an internal partition wall, screen or to the underside of a timber ceiling.

These two pictures below are of an existing external stone wall to a church which had a timber lining on the inside.

The first picture illustrates where the damaged laths and supporting frame were repaired and the plaque reinstated.

The second picture shows the finished wall, rendered using NHL haired lime undercoats with a lime putty finish and ashlar joints etched in the surface to match the existing finish.
